Nevertheless, this seaweed is easily attacked by diseases. This study was to determine the <em>ice-ice</em> triggers in seaweed farming locations. This research study was conducted at Arakan Village, South Minahasa, North Sulawesi. We performed the bacteria isolation on the infected <em>thallus</em> of <em>Kappaphycus alvarezii and </em>found <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus arlettae</em> caused the infection. <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus aureus</em> used to be found on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy humans, while <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus epidermis</em> inhabits only the skin of healthy humans. Approximately 30% of the normal healthy population was affected by <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus</em><em> aureus</em> as it asymptomatically colonizes human hosts. How this <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus arlettae</em> (mainly found in pork farms) infected <em>Kappaphycus</em><em> a</em><em>lvarezii</em> which is in a high salinity environment requires an in-depth study. We completed the experiment by using Scan Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), analysis on infected <em>thallus</em> <em>Kappaphycus alvarezii, </em>and a series of bacteria isolation to observe the morphology and the element contents of <em>Staphylococcus</em><em> arlettae</em> bacteria has successfully attached to the surface of <em>Kappaphycus alvarezii</em> and caused an infection. This proves that environmental changes have stimulated pathogenic bacteria <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus</em><em> arlettae</em> in the area where <em>Kappaphycus alvarezii</em> is cultivated. The mechanism of biosorption by microbes that can live in environments that are contaminated with Pb metal is active uptake. This mechanism occurs simultaneously in line with the consumption of metal ions for the growth of microorganisms. <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus</em><em> arlettae</em> are resistant to heavy metals due to the ability to detoxify the influence of heavy metals in the presence of protein or granular material. From the results of the study using SEM-EDX of algae and bacteria <em>S</em><em>taphylococcus</em><em> arlettae</em>, it can be concluded that the content of the particle of metal in <em>thallus</em> triggers bacteria to live on the seaweed as an energy source.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Bacteria, disease, infection<em>, </em><em>Kappaphycus alvarezii</em>, seaweed, <em>Staphylococcus arlettae</em></p> Sandra Tilaar, Stenly Wullur, Esther Angkouw Copyright (c) 2023 Sandra Tilaar, Stenly Wullur, Esther Angkouw https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/51565 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0800 Nutritional Value Composition Of Lamun Fruit Enhalus Acoroides From Samboang Beach, Bulukumba District, Sulawesi Selatan https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/51961 <p>As the main producer, seagrass leaves are the main food for several marine animals such as turtles and dugongs, while seagrass fruit which contains soft seeds can be consumed as food for humans, but it is not very popular and there is not much information regarding the nutritional content of seagrass fruit.

All organisms within this class possess characteristic spiny or knobbed skin composed of calcite particles. Several species of sea cucumber are internationally traded fishing commodities. The hunting of sea cucumbers is not only limited to the high-value species but also extends to lower-value species that initially garnered little attention. The sampling method used in this study began with a daytime location survey, followed by sample collection at night during the lowest tide, using a flashlight for illumination. All species of sea cucumbers found in the surveyed areas were collected. Following the collection, sorting was conducted where only two individuals of each morphological type, color, and other similar traits were kept, while the rest were returned to the waters. The sorted samples were then photographed for identification purposes, and to analyze the density of the discovered sea cucumber species, the number of individuals per suspected species was noted. The images of the collected samples were then compared with a guide for species identification. The World Register of Marine Species (WORMS) 2023 guide was used for this purpose. Subsequently, the number of individual species found was analyzed to determine the density of individuals and the abundance of sea cucumber species. The results of the identification process revealed 7 species with a total of 53 individuals.</p> <p>Keywords: Teripang, Holothuroidea, Likupang</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Teripang atau Holothuroidea merupakan salah satu dari kelas Echinodermata.

This research was conducted in July 2021 in Bahoi Village, West Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency designed to determine the value of direct benefits of the coral reefs ecosystem at the location. The data collected in this study were primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained by conducting interviews among the fishermen as respondents. The interview was conducted using the purposive sampling method by taking a sample of 30 respondents from fishermen's households in the community. As for secondary data, namely the ecological condition of coral reefs (coral cover), the general condition and population of Bahoi Village were based on YAPEKA 2015 data. The data collected were then tabulated and analyzed using the effect on production (EOP) model to determine the value of the direct benefits of coral reefs.

Experience has given birth to local wisdom in adapting to natural disasters, especially flood problems. One of the local pearls of wisdom possessed by the Mentawai people to adapt to floods is disaster-friendly houses ( <em>Uma </em>). So this article was constructed to examine <em>Uma's axiology </em>in dealing with floods. The research method used is a qualitative approach, where data collection techniques use interviews and observation. In-depth interviews were conducted with two different community groups, namely the elite group and the lay community group consisting of 3 elite groups; traditional leaders, religious leaders, community leaders, and 20 general public groups. Data validation was carried out using triangulation techniques and analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and concluding/verification. Research findings show that <em>Uma </em>has strong adaptive and mitigating powers in dealing with flood disasters. <em>Uma </em>can be compared to the construction of developed countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, and England in adapting to flood risks. Increasingly complex climatic conditions, together with the consequences of inappropriate <em>tourism expansion and weak land use management, have led to an increase in the frequency and severity of flooding in the Mentawais – saltwater intrusion, temperature changes, weather changes, and landslides. </em>The Mentawai region is increasingly vulnerable to the risk of saltwater intrusion, which affects the ability to supply clean water and develop regional infrastructure. Rainfall combined with higher tides has caused an increase in the extent of flooding, especially in the lowland areas of Mentawai Regency</p> <p><strong>Keywords </strong><em>: </em><em>Flood Disaster Adaptation </em><em>; </em><em>Uma </em><em>; </em><em>Local wisdom </em><em>; </em><em>Mentawai</em></p> Dewi Rahmadani Siregar; eri barlian, nurhasyan syah, abdul razak, skunda diliarosta Copyright (c) 2023 Dewi Rahmadani Siregar; eri barlian, nurhasyan syah, abdul razak, skunda diliarosta https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/53261 Sat, 23 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0800 Biometrics and Reproduction of Redbelly Yellowtail fusilier Caesio cuning (Bloch, 1791) in Guraping Bay, Halmahera Island, Indonesia https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/49322 <p>This study aims to analyze the biometrics of yellowtail fish (length-weight relationship, growth patterns, condition factors, length-fecundity relationship) and reproductive aspects (gonadal maturity level, gonadal maturity index, and fecundity).

This is because of its high morbidity and mortality. Diarrhea is an endemic disease that has the potential to cause Extraordinary Events (KLB) which are often accompanied by death in Indonesia. Most diarrheal diseases can be prevented through safe drinking water and adequate sanitation and hygiene. This study aims to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. This research uses a systematic review method (Systematic Review) which is a research method for identifying, evaluating, and interpreting research results that are relevant to a particular research topic, or phenomenon that is the focus of the research. The results of this research show that there is a relationship between environmental sanitation such as the physical quality of water, ownership of a toilet, type of floor in the house, and the incidence of diarrhea. It is hoped that after this research is carried out, mothers and health policy stakeholders such as the health department and community health centers can improve residential environmental health programs to have physically clean water quality and good environmental sanitation.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Environmental Sanitation, Diarrhea, Toddlers, Systematic Review</em></p> Dewi Rahmadani Siregar, Abdul Razak, Elsa Yuniarti, Linda Handayuni Copyright (c) 2023 Dewi Rahmadani Siregar, Abdul Razak, Elsa Yuniarti, Linda Handayuni https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/53194 Sat, 23 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0800 Quality of Demersal Fish sold at Tobelo Traditional Market, North Halmahera based on pH and Organoleptic Values https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/53406 <p>Demersal fish resources are a type of fish whose life cycle is mostly at the bottom or around the bottom of the waters. Fishery products are food commodities that quickly spoil (deteriorate in quality) because they are influenced by the high water and nutrient content. Fish bodies are a good medium for the growth of putrefactive bacteria. Factors that influence the speed of reduction in fish freshness level are storage temperature. The application of cold chains is one way of handling that is easy to apply. This study aims to analyze the quality of demersal fish sold in one of the traditional markets in the city of Tobelo based on organoleptic and pH. The results of the analysis show that the organoleptic tests of gills, eyes, flesh, smell, and texture of fish meet the requirements of the Indonesian National Standard.

These activities have led to an increase in pollution, particularly in the form of marine debris. The distribution of non-submerged marine debris tends to drift and ultimately ends up along the shoreline. This research was conducted from December 2021 to June 2022 at Ancol Gen Beach, Pesawahan, Teluk Betung Selatan, Bandar Lampung. The study aimed to classify and identify the types and weights of marine debris most commonly found at Ancol Gen Beach. Sampling of marine debris was carried out using the line transect method spanning the coastline. The research results revealed that the dominant type of marine debris was single-use plastic, followed by recyclable plastics, textiles, rubber, paper, glass, wood, metal, and hazardous waste (B3). The highest density of marine debris occurred during the rainy season, with a count of 50,020 pcs/m² and a weight of 160,525 g/m². In contrast, the lowest density of marine debris was observed during the dry season, with 15,450 pcs/m² and a weight of 53,250 g/m². The accumulation of macro marine debris along Ancol Gen Beach is suspected to be transported by surface currents and river flows in the vicinity of the shoreline.</p> <p><em>Keywords</em>: Ancol Gen, Macro-sized, Marine debris, and Seasson.</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Pantai Ancol Gen merupakan salah satu pantai yang berada di perairan Teluk Lampung yang memiliki beragam aktivitas di sekitar perairan tersebut.

The research period is October-December 2023. The research methods used are cruising survey for mangrove species, line transect for mangrove density, remote sensing for mangrove thickness, and visualization for associated biota objects. Data analysis for the tourism suitability index (IKW) and area carrying capacity (DDK) is guided by the provisions of Yulianda (2019). The IKW value is 2.0 with the appropriate category and the DDK value is 25 people per day. The size of the DDK value of the mangrove tourism area depends on two main factors, namely the length of tracking and the length of operating time. The greater the value of tracking length and the length of operating time, the greater the DDK value, conversely the smaller the value of tracking length and the length of operating time, the smaller the DDK value. As a recommendation to the village government to be able to extend the tracking distance by utilizing the mangrove spaces that are still available, in addition to the tourist period can be extended with adequate facilities such as electricity, lighting, etc. so that the value of DDK can still be achieved as much as possible to increase the economic income of the village community while still paying attention to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, community participation to preserve this mangrove forest area is needed for the sustainability of ecotourism-based mangrove tourism at Darunu Mangrove Park.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> Area carrying capacity, <em>Darunu Mangrove Park</em>, Ecotourism, Mangrove, Tourism suitability index.</p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui jenis mangrove, kerapatan mangrove, ketebalan mangrove, pasang surut air laut, objek biota asosiasi, indeks kesesuaian wisata dan daya dukung kawasan wisata <em>Darunu Mangrove Park</em>. Periode penelitian yaitu Oktober-Desember 2023. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu survey jelajah untuk jenis mangrove, transek garis untuk kerapatan mangrove, penginderaan jauh untuk ketebalan mangrove, visualisasi untuk objek biota asosiasi. Analisis data untuk indeks kesesuaian wisata (IKW) dan daya dukung kawasan (DDK) berpedoman pada ketentuan dari Yulianda (2019). Nilai IKW sebesar 2,0 dengan kategori sesuai dan nilai DDK sebanyak 25 orang per hari. Besar kecilnya nilai DDK kawasan wisata mangrove tergantung pada dua faktor utama, yaitu panjang <em>tracking </em>dan lamanya waktu operasi. Semakin besar nilai panjang <em>tracking</em> dan lamanya waktu operasi, maka semakin besar pula nilai DDK tersebut, sebaliknya semakin kecil nilai panjang <em>tracking</em> dan lamanya waktu operasi maka semakin kecil nilai DDK tersebut. Sebagai rekomendasi kepada pemerintah desa untuk dapat memperpanjang jarak <em>tracking</em> dengan memanfaatkan ruang-ruang mangrove yang masih tersedia, disamping itu periode waktu wisata dapat diperpanjang dengan dilengkapi fasilitas yang memadai seperti listrik, penerangan, dan lain-lain, agar nilai DDK masih dapat dicapai semaksimal mungkin dalam rangka peningkatan pendapatan ekonomi masyarakat desa dengan tetap memperhatikan kelestarian lingkungannya.

As a result, the province is vulnerable to the impacts caused by cyclones, including storm surges. The increase in water levels due to this event has the potential to cause coastal flooding. Previous studies in Manado have identified that sea level rise can be detected through residual water level (RWL), making studying the characteristics of RWL in North Sulawesi important. This research focuses on Manado and Melonguane, allowing for a comparison of characteristics. The data used includes tropical cyclone data from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and tidal data from the Geospatial Information Agency. The Unified Tidal Analysis and Prediction (UTide) method is used to identify RWL. The analysis was carried out by using a t-test to compare data at the two locations. The results showed that RWL at those locations had significant differences with Melonguane having the higher value between them. Generally, the increase in RWL in Melonguane occurs shortly after the cyclone period, while the RWL in Manado maximum increases 86 hours after TC's first occurrence.</p> <p><em>Keywords: tropical cyclone; residual water level; UTide</em>.</p> Audia Azizah Azani, Rignolda Djamaluddin, Robert A Bara, Lusia Manu, Heffry Veibert Dien, Indri Shelovita Manembu Copyright (c) 2024 Audia Azizah Azani, Rignolda Djamaluddin, Robert A Bara, Lusia Manu, Heffry Veibert Dien, Indri Shelovita Manembu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/53167 Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Determination of Micro Minerals of Several Species of Sea Urchins from Samboang Waters as Functional Food Candidates https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/54621 <p>Functional foods are foods that can be consumed with additional health benefits beyond their basic function as an energy source.

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di perairan desa Ohoitel, Kota Tual dan berlangsung dari Maret 2023 – April 2023. Benih teripang pasir berukuran 0,39 – 1,98 gr sebanyak 450 ekor ditebar pada <em>Pen-culture</em> berukuran 4 x 3 x 0,7 meter. <em>Pen-culture</em> terbuat dari waring dan memiliki penutup. Perhitungan kelangsungan hidup dan pengukuran pertumbuhan hanya pada awal dan akhir pemeliharaan. Pengukuran kualitas air (suhu, salinitas dan pH) dilakukan setiap minggu selama penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendederan anakan teripang pasir berukuran 0,39 – 1,98 gr dapat dilakukan pada <em>Pen-culture</em> dengan menggunakan penutup. Hal ini dikarenakan presentase kelangsungan hidup anakan teripang pasir yang didederkan pada <em>Pen-culture</em> sebesar 84 – 86,67 % dengan rata-rata persentase kelangsungan hidup 85,33 % dan kisaran pertumbuhan berat tubuh sebesar 2,54 – 12, 97 gr dengan rara-rata pertumbuhan mutlak berat tubuh sebesar 6,77 gr.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci</strong> <strong>:</strong> <em>Pendederan, Teripang pasir, Pen-culture</em></p> Pitjont Tomatala, Usman Madubun Copyright (c) 2024 Pitjont Tomatala, Usman Madubun https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/platax/article/view/55056 Fri, 26 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0800
